Thanks for leaving the footage of Russel and Chedar in. They are still cute even when they are arguing and it made me smile! Your arrangements are beautiful as always!

Think taking the lights off the Hartley is a good call. Sometimes less is more and a beautifully lighted tree will be absolutely classy and gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️ pots turned out as beautiful as anything you have designed.❤️

When Laura was collecting the branches…. “We can fit a lot in” This should be the slogan on your merch! 😂😂😂

I just love how Russell enjoys being with you in the garden. He makes me want to get another cat (I lost my beloved kitty recently.) If I do get another cat, Russell has made me decide it needs to be a marmalade tabby. Have you ever considered doing a “Russell and Cheddar’s greatest hits” video for your cat loving fans?

I’m always curious as to how things will turn out when you are initially describing what you are going to do, and then Bam! Laura does her stuff and we end up with something so stunning and gorgeous! The seeded eucalyptus added the finishing touch! Well done!!

Love when Cheddar and Russell are part of the show !!! Your arrangements are beautiful !

Loved to see kitties "kittzing" with each other! Glad it wasn't edited out. Russell's warble!

I had no idea before watching Laura work her magic that you could do winter arrangements like this. Really stunning.

Hi Laura, the “Feather Acacia” is a species of wattle called “Cootamundra wattle” (Acacia Baileyana). It’s native to my area in New South Wales (I live about half an hour from the town of Cootamundra). When it is in full flower in winter, it’s the most stunning tree. Thanks for all that you do and love from Australia 🇦🇺 your pots look brilliant. ❤️

Gorgeous pots! Terrific scale and lovely mix of materials. You’ve inspired me to use my lights as a “glow” in window boxes as well. Appreciate your discernment re: lighting the Hartley. I too am usually a maximalist but I agree, let the tree be the star 🌟

These are by far the most structured pots I have seen you create. A beautiful esthetic beside the Hartley.

The pots are amazing! Really enjoyed watching you put them together. You certainly know how to fill a pot with a huge amount of greenery and have it turn out stunning. Each beautiful layer is so visible. Your smooth narration is one, if not, the best of any garden channel. Very pleasant to listen to.

Good morning, Laura ☕️ I hope y’all enjoyed Thanksgiving day 🦃Those arrangements are gorgeous! Great idea to grow the willows in the new property for foraging. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈 I swear I heard Russell or Cheddar saying “no, no, no.” 😂

That was a nice surprise because I didn't expect a Laura video this morning! The containers turned out beautifully with all the different greenery and lights, and the cats were a bonus, especially Russell "talking" to you. 😊😻😄 Have a wonderful weekend!

Love those arrangements in the large pots!! The lights look amazing in the pots! Laura, you are so talented! Loved seeing Russel and Cheddar.

That arrangement is one of your best, Laura, and that saying something ❤

I got a snowy Felco ad featuring Laura making a wreath before today’s video! What a nice surprise! 😄

most stunning winter containers you've ever done!

Thank you for your great videos! My family normally has a big Thanksgiving dinner and we also love to celebrate and decorate for Christmas. This holiday season has started out rough for us. My brother’s home and garage burned to the ground. Then my 90 year old mom had complications after hip replacement surgery and I have been her 24 hour caregiver after my sister suddenly could not help when her husband fell and broke bones. I took my mother to the ER two times due to severe pain and she got admitted to the hospital for a fractured vertebra and bowel paralysis due to medication. She is still there. Now my husband tested positive for Covid and our little boy started feeling very sick today. All of these things and more that I have not mentioned have put a damper on our celebrating this year. Health issues can really get in the way of a good time! I want to thank you for your videos that show the fun and merriment you have with your entire family while shopping, dining, and making holiday treats, as well as your decorating. When I watch your videos about these things it makes me so happy that all of you are doing the things that my family and I love and it helps me escape for a while the challenges that we currently have here. Thank you for your cheerful videos, for sharing precious moments with your family, and the beauty you produce through gardening and decorating. It has given me smiles that I otherwise would not have had this year. What a gift! 🙂❤️

The containers look beautiful! I really enjoyed watching you put this together!

The 'feather acacia' is actually Acacia ‘Purple Cootamundra Wattle’. It is one of my favourite native Australian trees, and VERY popular (and quite famous!) The last month of Winter, it's covered in bright yellow pompoms, and provides a wonderful boost in those dark, grey days. Wattle is the herald of Spring here.💛 After flowering, it puts on all its new growth, which is a lovely purple!💜 Being Australian, it's a dry climate evergreen, and would probably grow well in your area! 💚💚💚

These are some of the prettiest arrangements I have ever seen. I absolutely love them.

Laura,you don’t know it yet, but your garden is going to be a destination place. This garden gets more spectacular every year! Good Bless and have a wonderful Christmas season.🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄♥️

The pots are gorgeous. Those flame willows are stunning! I agree that the lights should come off the Hartley. A tree inside with the pots on the corners is enough. With all the glass you get more than enough reflection from all the other lights. It will be stunning

Laura those arrangements are beautiful . I absolutely love them and you definitely got a layered look. Wasn’t sure what a layer look would be when you talked about it but oh my, I definitely see it , as anyone will. Just beautiful.

Good to see Russell taking his Creative Director role seriously. I could have sworn he was saying “no, no, no”. PS: The editing at the last planter with Russell was seamless! 🐈

I do believe that these are my favorite pots that you have put together. Absolutely beautiful and they compliment the Hartley so well. May have to find a place for flame willow in my garden now!

So love how you change the game plan when needed, as in the Hartley lighting. I agree with your decision. The lights reflection on the glass really made it brighter than the surrounding structures. It will be prettier decorated differently. Your pots are beautiful!

It’s a keeper, these should hold interest throughout winter season, so lovely. Happy Holidays everyone!😊❤❤

Love the feather acacia and eucalyptus! That lily grass does add texture I have some and made some Christmas arrangements Love that Redwood! Enjoy 😊 You are slammin’, girl🤣🤣♥️ Love the way it all turned out 😉💫

Hi Laura The eucalyptus & flame willows are Gourgous! As for sweet Russell he is so needy he makes me laugh, and is hopelessly in Love with you!😄 good choice with light's the pots are perfecto!!thanks again for sharing your life.

Establish A New Family Tradition, At Christmas ... Placing A Live Evergreen Tree Inside The Hartley, Which Can Then Live On In The Garden.

Never seen a winter pot layered like this it’s absolutely beautiful! Needs to be in a magazine spread!

🥧🍃🍁I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Drinking some tea while watching Laura , can this day get any better?😁😘

I always think if I had a garden this size, I'd have a winter cutting garden with shrubs and plants grown JUST to cut for Winter/Christmas.

I like the lights on the hartley , but it's your call , and those pots turned out beautiful !

What a simple but brilliant idea to put hot water to loosen up the frozen dirt! I have struggled with that for year and never thought of this! 🙏🏻⭐️

Those 2 🐱were so cute- I think they were fighting over Laura ❣️ Containers are super!

Oh what a wonderful idea to take the lights off the Hartley… let your chandelier and Christmas tree shine… the Hartley is beautiful by itself doesn’t needs lights 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I love these arrangements. They're an awesome winter display and could be left until spring. Cheddar and Russel are quite the pair. I think their argument was about each other taking up the spotlight. Stinkers!

The word opulent comes to mind. Gorgeous and perfect for the Hartley!

Love the winter containers....it was fun going along for the ride as you collected all the foliage from many locations...and seeing the culmination in these beautiful arrangements! You definitely are an inspiration ...

Arrangements are gorgeous. I have a bunch of plain branches I was going to spray paint white to do some arrangements but I think I'll paint them red. I'm glad you're going to keep those plants and put them in your landscape so you can harvest them each year for arrangements. That's what I would do out in the new property. I would plant a lot of things that you can harvest for your winter pot arrangements. And I agree with not having the lights on the Hartley. The fact that you can see through the Hartley and see all the lights around it is beautiful and the tree in the Hartley will be absolutely stunning. Can't wait for the Grand tour!

You did a foraging video in the woods with your mother a while ago, will you do such a video again? It was calming and relaxing to watch... nature offers a lot to us :-) especially your area is pretty beautiful, maybe we will see it in summer or spring again ?

One word... wow! And those cats 😆

Warm water to thaw the pots! Well duh! I have been praying for a few warm days in Wisconsin to thaw my pots out. I learn so much from you! I love the glow and uplighting too.

"decorating containers on the corners of the greenhouse" excuse me but this is a Hartley, the dream of every gardener. Laura I agree she is glorious without the added ligths, pretty things around her can't compete, simply complete.

I love the eucalyptus in these containers! You should grow some eucalyptus trees in the Hartley!

I love these arrangements so much!

Happy Friday! I agree with not using the icicle lights on the Hartley. It’s pretty perfect as-is so just making it glow from the inside is beautiful, cozy and elegant. Love it!

Your place could hold such grand events. I love all the greenery. Such a dream. Those red twigs are like gold wowzer

You have no idea what a Christmas gift it is that you admit that you spent energy and hard-earned funds on something you don't care for (THE LIGHTS). You ARE human. I recently had a FAIL and felt pretty worthless as there wasn't much to do to rectify this gardening/decorating disaster. And I don't mean to say that misery loves company, but it's good to know that even folks with your artistry and design chops take a wrong turn every once in a while. Thanks for your honesty.

Love it!!! I am fortunate to have a big beautiful eucalyptus tree that is blooming right now with fluffy red blooms and seed pods. I'm making a wreath with that and olive. I'm in zone 8b in NW Arizona.

Love the arrangements. They are so festive. I think taking the lights off the Hearty is best. Once, you have the tree in there and lit up, it will look radiant!

I think just the Christmas as a stand alone will be much more breathtaking! I vote for no lights on the Hartley :)

Russell is a ham wants to be involved in every scene love that about you as a family! Beautiful

Good Glorious Morning, GA Friends and Family from New Jersey!

Those containers are stunning

"Look at this! Look how beautiful" -Laura, and oh so many other gardeners. Seriously, you get us! Also, you may have inspired me to plant an obscene number of bulbs this year. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

How beautiful!!! I am always so impressed by your skill and talent, you have these ideas and then you put it all together for such a magnificent finish, thank you for sharing! Awesome!!!

Good Morning! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving

Oh my those pots turned out so beautiful and festive!!! I love the lights and how you laid them out in the pots with the bundle in the center to kinda shine up on the willow branches, just gorgeous. I agree with the lights on the Hartley, I think with the lights reflecting off the glass makes it way to bright and you wouldn’t be able to see a tree inside. Maybe put some lights around the inside around the ledge so they can give a soft glow? Just making some suggestions. Thank you for showing and sharing another great video, love from SE Ohio.

I think that the pots came out beautiful. I love them.

Putting all those branches in the soil doesn't disturb the tulips at all? That's awesome🥰 but I would be too scared I'd be peircing the bulbs🙈🤷🏼‍♀️

Your most gorgeous pots to date…and that’s saying a lot! Stunning 😍

I just love love love when you do videos with your mom. She is so exciting. Thanks for sharing.

Dang girl you have a great eye and talent for putting things together so beautifully!! I would never have thought to put all of that together. Well done!!❤️

So beautiful❣️. The scale is perfect for around the Hartley, colour texture these pots have it all, love it so much!

they are BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE A ARTIST EVERY THING YOU TOUCH IS LOVELY THANK YOU FOR LETTING US WATCH

GORGEOUS! Nice of Russell to help out.🥰

Very pretty & professional looking containers, with the perfect texture mix! I much admire how your just 'winging it' without prior planning. That's a mark of confidence & mastery. Thanks for the festive post-Thanksgiving inspiration!

Russel and Cheedar are the furry stars of the show! Love the planters! Your Christmas will be so sparkly and bright!

Love the pots and the idea of no lights on the Hartley-it’s a beautiful structure in itself and a real tree inside will be an amazing focal point! Happy Thanksgiving!

10:08 I clearly heard, "Oh no, no, no, no, no!" and my mouth flew open. Then he said, "I love you, I do" @ 10:14 & 10:16, then, "I doooo" @ 10:19. Lord, this is unlimited rewind worthy! Is that Russell talking like a human? Too precious! Great job on the pot decorations. Merry Christmas! It's truly the most wonderful tome of the year!

The outcome is so elegant!

So gorgeous Laura as always! Love the added touch of lights in the pots❤

The pots look amazing, I love all the different greens you used and the lights give it that final touch. Beautiful ❤🎄❤️

Those pots turned out gorgeous!!! Love the hint of light at the bottom, too! 🤗

Omg I love the lighted planters 😍 (Also, the cat footage was superb! I’m super partial to Russell at this point, love to see him living his best life. Lol)

Those pots are beautiful. The perfect amount of layering.

They’re just beautiful ❤

Laura, can you do videos on what you do in winter to cleanup and fertilize etc. I get motivated and inspired to at least something when I see you doing so much. Makes it easy for me to spend an hour in the garden.

It’s such a joy watching you decorate!❤. Thanks for all you do.

Oh my goodness! I love love love them!! So beautiful

🎄❄️ I enjoyed all the festive videos from the garden centered..

Seeing Laura in a Felco commercial just before this video had me confused and then excited. Well done GA team having such beautiful footage and editing skills that your partner brands even make it their advertising. I’m sure that’s a partnership planned thing but it was a pleasant surprise to see. Love, love, love the planters full of light and beautiful things for winter. Here in mn we need pretty things like this to get us through our very long dark winters. Count me inspired to do a few more pots yet before the full blown snow hits hard. :)

They are all awesome!!

Love the way the pots turned out ❤

Those pots are just so beautiful!!!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙

My gosh!, those turned out beautiful!!

Those turned out so beautiful!!! love!!

Good morning Laura I hope you and your families Thanksgiving was wonderful 💗 hi cheddar hi Russell lol ru 🐈 having fun

So talented! They are gorgeous!!! Thank you again for sharing. 🎄👏🏻😎✌🏻

Oh, so glad you saw it, lights on the Hartley are too loud and garish looking. Probably from being all glass. Let that baby shine from within!!! :)

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

These pots are fantastic! You are so creative Laura. You definitely have a gift.

I have watched you do great pots over the years… These are the best of all of them!!! Beautiful!!!

Some of these plants seem very Australian im loving it 😍

Those containers are so BEAUTIFUL!!!
